Police impose security blockade after man injured in Ajloun shooting

AMMAN — Police on Saturday night had to impose a security blockade in Ajloun’s Hashemiyah region to prevent friction between two tribes there following the injury of a young man in a shooting.

The Public Security Department (PSD) said angry tribesmen tried to set fire to tyres and block the main road, adding that the heavy security presence was imposed there to prevent violations. The PSD added that those who break the law will be referred to court.

Police detained the suspected shooter and referred him to court, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
